The Haledon School District is a community public school district that serves students in preschool through eighth grade from Haledon, in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's one school had an enrollment of 1,038 students and 78.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.27:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second-lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[3]

For ninth through twelfth grades, public school students attend Manchester Regional High School, located in Haledon, which also serves students from North Haledon, and Prospect Park.[4] Students from North Haledon attend the high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the North Haledon School District.[5] The Manchester district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend the district's schools without cost to their parents, with tuition paid by the state. Available lots are announced annually by grade.[6]
